REAL ESTATE IN CITY WILL BE NO CHEAPER (Continued from page one ) at the same time the old industries get to going and you will have a real estate and housing situation more acute than the region has ever known NO rAJXUSSS BS&Z. 5. Hammond has had no business failures to speak of indicating the soundness of the local business men. 8. Hammond's business district is very littTe larger than it was when the population was twenty thousand; half of what It is now. This must be greatly expanded as soon as the building situation Is settled1. ' 7. The tndts decision will prevail. Public sentiment is back of It- The whole building Industry agreed to abide by It and It can't afTord to risk the wrath and Ire of the general public by a refusal to keep Its word. By the first of the year all remaining problems will be thrashed out and then building will boom. 8. The money market Is easing up. Liberty bonds are soaring. Credit conditions are Improved everywhere. This means that funds will be available for building operations on a large scale. 9. All of the street Improvement contracts recently let by the City of Hammond indicate a sharp drop In cost. This means that many projects that wtll employ men suoh as the Improvements to the water works and the building of the deep sewer will be gotten under way. ONLY JtANX PXSSZBEEST BLOTS Now from these premises let get back to the real estate situation. Hammond never had a boom and hence excepting In rare Instances there is no inflation of values. Hammond's best residential properties. If they are listed for sale at all, are leld for 20 per cent less than similar properties in neighboring cities and the country in general. The proportion of houses and lots In which the owner's equity Is email and which are being offered for re-sale on account of the fhability of the purchaser to carry the load are so few as to be negligible when the whole city la considered. There has been little price cutting for the. reason that the demand for houses has been so great that purchasers have always been able to get out blood by relieving you of the waste products which cause Impoverished blood and Its allied troubles skin disorders, rheumatism and a lowered vitality. The same qualities which give S. S S. its beneficial effect In clearing youT blood of waste products make it ex tremely desirable for keeping your blood In good condition. S. S.

SPANISH SHAWLS MAKE GORGEOUS EVENING WRAPS

r, . i ' !,i 'f

5 it! T J - The Spanish shawl is being presented this season much the same 'as the Paisley shawl was presented to our pTan dm others. It is to be" worn only on very special and gtate occasions. It is to be worn as a wrap, however, not as this model is exhibiting: it. Black, red, jade preen and other vivid shades At moat popular. from under without los3 when the necessity arisea. Admittedly building costs are loner. Building materials have come down, labor Is more efficient and will be paid less, money rates are easier. So the public arsues: "If I can replace my house for less money than It cost me two years ago. I will sell and build again.' BUT HTJS.E IS THE EtTB You ffll your house and ftiink you have made some money. You go out to buy a lot and jou find lota scarce. Tou price them in the older subdivisions and you find that the price hue Jumped away out of pijrnt. You iuy enough more for your lot afld our new house even at present orka to r.'iake the cost about thft' ame aij the house you sold. Of course there are exceptions in parts of the city such as the north side where prices bave never become stabilized and much property if ffered for sale. But take the newer south side and prices are firm with an enormous demand. All real estate dealers find that the wise ones who thought they would hold off until prices got cheaper are coming back into the market and buying. They have siven up writing for lower prices. You see lots of real estate signs on lots. You don't understand that. Well when there was no demand for lots and the occasional purchaser could go out and pick up a site anywT.ere. The real estate dealer did not think it worth while to list vacant for sale But recently cory broker Tuts sensed the enormous and almost frantic demand for residential vecant. Accordingly they have Rone out and listed every lot they could find and have put their signs on them. Thus it appears to the public that there is much vacant offered for Kale. There is less vacant offered for sale but every lot that is tor sale has a sign on itReal estate men say positively that except in cases white sales are forced and must bo made quickly to the first buyers that prices are holding up to the moderate level that has been a ways maintained in Hammond, HERE IS A WABJrraC I have said that Hammond real estate values are now. They are. Residential property is cheap. lots at present prices are cheaper than in any other live city Hammond's size. Eut here is what is going to happen. Let the money market continue to ease up. Let materials continue to come down. Let labor get back Into the Swing with high production and reasonable wages and you are going to see the greatest building boom that the country has ever known. The housing shortage In the United States is not confined to Hrfmrrtond. It Is country wide. It is estimated that this country Is l.SOOfQOO houses short. Let reasonable prices all around prevail and the first thing wa know we will be in the midst of a building boom that will develop Into the countries leading Industry. "hen materials, and money and labor will start up again. Heal estate vacant will be absorbed and new subdivisions will be required. Prices of lots favorably locate! will soar. The city will expand te. un-dreamed of proportions and those who want homes will have to pay the price for their procrastination. Hetty Green, that wise old girl who piled up millions said; 'I bay when others are selling and sell when others are buying.' But the public is not that way. The public does not take ttdvantage of conditions of temporary depression to pick up snaps. The public, usually waits until the thing it wants has reached the peak, whether it be teal estate or stocks, and then pays the price. PICK CHICKEN COOPS. Over- at South Bend the moonshiners have picked chicken houses' as tha safest places for the operation of their stills. Federal Agent Harry Mathers has picked off two this week which were hidden under coops on farms. On the farm of George Popp. It. R. J, South Bend, the prohibition agent discovered a dugout under the chicken coop. In It were a ten gallon still In operation, two five gallon stllla set up but not running, 200 gallon of mash and seven gallons of moonshine. The next raid was on the farm of Stanley Swelnt, north of South Bend, near Grander. A twenty-five gallon still was found in the hennery with 90 gallons of mash and a gallon of hootch,,
